This Is the reason....

It is 54 degrees outside as I type this. I picked Riley up from school at 2:45 and came home and dug a trench for the ocean (now pond) to drain out of and end up in the marsh behind my house. I drove to Moose Lake this morning to talk to my district trainer and then came home to put together packets for presentations I have coming up. I ate half a bowl of mac & cheese drank a glass of water then unloaded the wood from the back of my truck. I checked my Aflac email and wrote one. I put out mouse poison and 3 traps then I took the chewed up duck tape off the bottom of the garage door. I stopped and saw a client whose boyfriend just got run over by a snowmobile and broke both legs and will be in a wheel chair for at least 6 months. All this I did on my time and when I needed to. I will be the one to make or break myself, and I am scared to death of that but also is the reason I will see my boys grow up and will enjoy their schools events. This is the reason I need to do what I am doing.

I hadn't been checking your blog, since you hadn't written in a while. I'm glad I did again.
I'm so proud of you for making a choice to feel in control over your life. I'm sorry it is not an easy thing to do. I pray it will go well for you.
Yeah for having time with your boys! Yeah for being able to take care of you home! Yeah for your time and your own space! Yeah for feeling freedom of choice!
